Aer Lingus launches new routes to Turin and Geneva

A winter ‘Coolcation’ awaits: Aer Lingus launches new routes to Turin and Geneva

Aer Lingus has launched two new winter routes, offering customers flying from Dublin and Cork even more opportunities to enjoy a seasonal escape to some of Europe’s most enchanting destinations. The inaugural flights from Cork to Geneva and Dublin to Turin both took off on Saturday. Both routes are perfect destinations for customers seeking ‘Coolcations’ – or trips to cooler destinations.

Customers flying from Dublin to Turin can now enjoy easier access to Italy’s world-famous alpine slopes, while customers from Cork can look forward to a relaxing winter escape amid breathtaking scenery with new flights to Geneva.

Taking off from Dublin:

Turin: Situated in the heart of Italy’s Piedmont region, Turin offers effortless access to world class ski resorts such as Via Lattea (The Milky Way), one of Europe’s largest ski areas; Pila, located in the Aosta Valley; and Bardonecchia, a hidden gem offering some of the best value skiing in the Alps. The region is ideal for families, with slopes for all ages and skill levels. For those seeking more than an Alpine adventure, Turin delivers culture, cuisine, and charisma in abundance. As Italy’s first capital, its rich heritage shines through in elegant boulevards, baroque architecture, and regal landmarks like Palazzo Reale and Palazzo Madama. Flights will operate two days a week from Dublin, on Saturdays and Sundays, until 28th March 2026.

Taking off from Cork:

Geneva: Nestled between the Alps and the shores of Lake Geneva, Switzerland’s second largest city boasts breathtaking scenery and cultural appeal. For winter sports lovers, Geneva is a convenient gateway to the renowned ski resorts of Morzine, famous for its picturesque pistes and vibrant apres-ski scene, and Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, known for its legendary off-piste runs, including the famous Vallée Blanche. Within the city, visitors can admire the iconic Jet d’Eau fountain, climb the tower of St. Pierre Cathedral, or check the time at the blooming L’horloge Fleurie (Flower Clock) – a tribute to the city’s watchmaking heritage. Flights will operate once a week from Cork, on a Saturday, to 28th March, 2026.

Susanne Carberry, Chief Customer Officer, Aer Lingus, said: “We’re delighted to launch new winter services to Turin and Geneva, expanding our network and giving customers even more choice for seasonal adventures. Whether it’s chasing fresh snow in the Alps or seeking a charming city escape, these new routes from Dublin and Cork offer customers convenient connections to Europe’s most charming destinations.”
